I say so long to all my faults
as I lie here all alone
I pray that this silence
will befriend my thought
Past attractions and those to come; the moments we endured with heavy hearts
are all up debating the nature of right and wrong

It’s got me clingin to the edge of my seat—
so before I go to sleep
I think about what my momma whispered to me

Just let it go, oh child it’s time to release

It’s summertime, but snow is fallin
In winter the sun shines all day long
Spring is here again—
but it looks more like fall
The mythology of our past is gone
The tales the leaders tell are all
one hundred thousand body bags tall

So when the world's as cold as could be
and control lies beyond your reach
Do what can be done and then let it be

Let it go, oh child it’s time to release
